I don't think so.  As I understand it, the in-tree version does not yet
have all the features of the out-of-tree version, and some features may
have to be implemented differently (more integrated with the rest of the
kernel).

Have you tried building the kernel with this option?  Does the in-tree
module work properly with the existing utilities package?
